Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely poor service, reception rarely manned, dated rooms in desperate need of refurbishment. Rooms not cleaned whilst staying and towels had to be requested. As for breakfast this was a total joke, items missing from breakfast as they ran out early and attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. On raising the complaint to receptionist, it was talking to a brick wall, no acknowledgment of the issues we raised. Definitely won’t be staying here again.

Super convenient for the centre of Chester

Nice hotel, good value, nice and clean, seemed slightly understaffed with bar being closed and reception occasionally manned. Comfortable bed, reasonable wifi and clean and good shower once I’d worked out how to get hot water.

Our 2 night stay was good, reception staff nuce and friendly, room was ok. However our breakfast experience ruined our stay. Waited 10 mins to see a member of staff before being seated and was met with a sarcastic rude little blonde, the food when it arrived was inedible and other areas fruits and jams were all empty. Didn't complain as never saw staff again. I complained to reception and they refunded my breakfast for both days as i refused to eat there again. We went to Morrisons on the way to the zoo and the breakfast was like a la carte compared to the Hotels. Wont be staying there again.

Location is amazing, right by the Main Street. Beds were comfy. Hotel is a little dated but clean and tidy. Breakfast is terrible. Very sparse choice and a lot of things were unavailable when asked for (even if they were on the menu).

Lovely staff and great location. However the cleanliness was poor especially in common areas there was a lot of dust and cobwebs and on the final morning I pulled back my bed sheet to find a heavily stained mattress protector. Also we had breakfast at the hotel on the final morning - the continental part was not as advertised - there was no fresh fruit or pastries.

Never a 4 star

Unbelievably dated, can’t actually believe it was a 4 star hotel. Probably was in the 90s. Needs a drastic face lift.

Run down accommodation

Bedroom was very dusty in areas especially behind the chair and a paper towel was screwed up in the corner. Lamp shades full of dust and one of the shades had a stain on it which looked like blood. The other shade was ripped. Bath mat had a large dark stain on it too. We were moved to another room for the second night which was a ‘deluxe suite’. The shades still very dusty with dirty marks. The chest of drawers were dusty with some hairs as well in the drawers.
